Pulse Oximetry with Fiber Optics - Useful with Infants,
Pediatrics, and Adults. Large Displays.
The model 8600FO Pulse Oximeter with fiber optic sensor
is designed to meet the unique monitoring needs of MRI users.
Available for use with the system are fiber optic cables
with sensors that eliminate the risk of RF burns associated
with the use of conductive cables and sensors in MRI. In
addition, the 8600FO eliminates the image artifact experienced
with some MRI systems and conventional pulse oximeters.
The 8600FO may be used in MRI facilities to monitor infants,
pediatrics and adults. The Fiber Optic Sensors contain no
magnetic or electrically conductive materials and eliminate
the risk of RF burns caused by improper use of conventional
pulse oximeter sensors and cables in the MRI environment.
Combined with the low RF emissions and other design characteristics
of the 8600FO, the Fiber Optic Sensors reduce or eliminate
potential problems with MRI image artifact experienced in
some MRI facilities. The 8600FO will meet your needs for
pulse oximetry on infants, pediatrics, and adults in fixed-site
or mobile MRI units.

The 8600FO Pulse Oximeter requires no periodic maintenance
or calibration. Occasional cleaning with a mild detergent
and a damp cloth is the only suggested maintenance for the
pulse oximeter and the fiber optic sensor.

A small baby recived burns while being scanned in the MRI in 2/95. The Pulse Oximeter and the Coil,
which most likely caused the burns were not manufactured or provided by company. In addition, the particular pulse oximeter used was not approved by Company for use.

It was reported to the MFR that the PT recived burns to the fingers while having a MRI scan of the
spine. A Pulse Oximeter Finger Probe was taped on the index finger of the left hand to monitor PT while
he was under anesthesia upon completion of the exam, it was noted the finger with the probe was blackened
from apparent burns. The second finger was also slightly blackened.
